Here is something different. A site where porn stars and male strippers have been filmed doing what they do best. These are then presented in a way where you can have them running on your desktop, you only need to follow the instructions. VirtuaGuy HD offers us 10 demos a day, hot and hard jocks and tough looking guys, HD and exclusive content and all the technical support you might need. The software is free and everything is set up for Mac and PC alike.

The first thing you need to do is download the software and install it. It’s free and simple enough and gave me no hassles. I've not heard any reports of any bugs or anything like that so it looks pretty safe and trustworthy. That done, and signed up (free) you then log in and start browsing the guys. You need credits in order to download more strips and dances and stuff that the hunks do and you find a link in the top menu to Buy, where there are various options for obtaining the credits. There are six ways of paying and a range of credits from one to 50, and if you buy 50 at once it’s half the price of buying one at a time. Buy credits, and then go and find the guys you want to download.

In downloading and installing you have actually put a control panel on your computer so you can run everything from there, but, staying with the site: look back at the Home page to see who is new and who is tops. Select a guy from here and you find a full page of info all about him and the clip you've going to download. You get his stats, a description, you can rate him, you are told if he is HD and if so what you can expect (there are some warnings about whether you will need to upgrade your console etc. depending on which guy you are going for), and there are links to the place where you buy and download him with your credits. Beneath this there is a preview of the ‘show’ you’re going to get, you can make comments, read comments and see if there are any bonus videos or galleries.

These little videos, the bonuses, play in WMV and/or Avi. But I noticed that you had to buy the guy’s ‘card’ before you could access the bonus stuff, so it’s not general bonus material but something added on to your purchase, this to my mind, means it’s not a bonus but something you've bought along with your desktop dancing dandy. But there you go! The same goes for the photos, though there were some free ones and these clicked up to 1,200 x 1,800 in size and the quality was fine.

If you want to see all the dancing, stripping and tempting guys that you can now download and have playing on your desktop then hit the Guys section of the site. Each one has a ‘card’ and there were 92 of them when I was browsing. There are some categories to help your searching, including some empty ones such as ‘red hair’ and ‘middle east’; there were no guys in those categories, as yet. Here’s hoping. When you do decide on one, you come to his card and see all those things I mentioned above, and you can also see how many clips he’s got and you get an idea of what he does. Full nudity, strip, etc. When you download him you find he lays, sits or stands on your bottom task bar, over the computer wallpaper and actually the whole thing does look pretty real.

The quality of this stuff is fine and the whole thing works really well, well enough to feel a bit spooky at times. Like there is actually someone living inside your PC. I guess that’s why they call it VirtuaGuy HD, because the guys do look so real. Hang on, they are real, they are not animations, they are movies, but… well, you will see what I mean.

Running through the rest of the menu I found an area where you can easily view your collection, which will save you buying the same guy twice. It’s like an automatic favourites area and a good reference tool. There is a Community area where you can check out new members and make friends, add friends to a list, and where there were over 600,000 members already active. You can make up your own profile and add your own pics in the Account area. There’s plenty of help on hand if you need it and the whole thing is very easy to manage and use.

You might think that VirtuaGuy HD is a bit of a gimmick but it is a very good quality one, and it is also one that works well. More importantly, it works safely on your machine and is not expensive to upgrade and buy more guys. They start at ?2.00 each and you work your way up from there. It’s a bit of fun, but it’s a nice bit of fun and fun where you can also get fully interactive with other members, so it’s a bit of a social and community place to hang out as well.
